Made in India military weapons and support systems

Whoa, whoa, whoa, is this confirmed? When will this be produced? When was this this started?

Anymore details?

Coastal AWACS on C295 platform will be made.

It's not an AWACS but a MR-MPA, bascially the Do-228's replacement,

AWACS platform Airbus A313

AWACS (INDIA) and it's the A330 platform isn't it?

OFB has also started producing the GPMG FN Mag similar to this,hopefully we will see in it in near future.Its MMG variant is in service for many decades.

Who is it being produced for?

I thought it was the replacement for Il-38

I don't know but it was showcased in an OFB fair.

The P-8I will replace both the IL-38SD and Tu-142, the C-295 is a more natural replacement for the Do-228 but yes there is overlap. I guess it's easier to say between the P-8I and DRDO's C-295 based MPA the Tu-142, IL-38SD and Do-228 can be replaced.

I don't know but it was showcased in an OFB fair.

At least it has a buttstock now, it always annoys me to see the MMG without one:

Thanks for the link, I wonder what the progress is now? Is it going ahead for sure? CABS have clearly selected the C-295 platform so have they placed orders for it?

This is really very interesting because this type is going to be made in India for the IAF already and whilst this MMMA is explictly for the ICG as of now I'm sure the IN will be interested in also. It's also interesting that's how it is working- the ICG is taking the lead and the IN may follow in their wake later, usually it is the other way around, the ICG takes cues from what is oftern considered their "bigger brother" the IN. It's good to see them stepping up and expanding their scope, they need to become a stand alone force in their own right.

The Tu142s are recently upgraded and overhauled, do are the Il38s. In my opinion they will continue for some time now as primary ASM missile delivery platforms while also carrying out patrols. You see the area of responsibility of IN is huge and the 8 P8I are nowhere near enough to fulfill the roles.

P8i will replace them in ASW roles, while they will continue in service by the virtue of their recent upgrades and the ability to carry good payloads at great range.

As for Do228, IN takes it as a lower spectrum utility aircraft doing a lot of tasks.

The C295s will fill the void between very long range P8i and the short range Do228s.

Also eager to know what's the current situation of C295 deal.As this will not only replace the Avros but will get into a lot of different roles.... something which the Y8/9 platform is doing for PLA, albeit with a greater payload.

Yep,that's a photograph of the M240 GPMG,another version of FN MAG 58.

That 130mm M46 is a hell of gun btw, I just hope they don't mess it up in the upgunning process, wasn't this the metamorphosis gun project of the 2010?
